These volumes were originally owned by a marine insurance company, and are eccentrically
bound. Each volume’s worth of papers was opened and stacked, then folded over and stitched
on the center fold by the year, so that the second sheets appear as a long run of undated pages at
the end. Thus, they are difficult to browse, but might be easily disbound to liberate individual
complete issues. One later volume from 1818 is bound without the second leaves. The earliest
issues in this lot bear the title “J. Russell’s Gazette, Commercial and Political.” This lot
includes coverage of the Louisiana Purchase, the War of 1812, and more.
